5 in. wide. Corymbs on the old wood, 6 to 12 in. across. Bracts 

 large, caducous, yellow. Flowers very numerous. Calyx-tube i in. 

 long; lobes yellow, mouth at length deep red, oblong, "5 in. long. 

 Stamens 4. Ovary stalked, puberulous on sutures. Pod 15 to 

 18 in. long, 3*25 in. wide, oblong, dark rose pink. Hub. Common 

 in forests. Negri Sembilan, Tampin Hill. Selangor, Batu Caves; 

 Ginting Bidai (Kloss) ; Ulu Gombak. Perak, Thaiping Hills.

(2) S. declinata Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 84. 



Tree about 20 ft. tall. Leaflets oblong-acute acuminate rather 

 stiff, 10 by 4 in. ; nerves somewhat prominent, about 12 pairs. 

 Corymbs distinctly peduncled, 12 in. long, 9 in. wide. Calyx-tube 

 1*5 in. long, lobes "3 in. oblong blunt. Stamens 4, rarely 7. Hah. 

 Hill forests. Perak Hills, Thaiping Hills; Sira Rimau, Gunong 

 Inas (Yapp). Distrih. Java. 



I am not clear which of this set of Java species Miquel intended by his 

 declinata, as there are more than one in Java, but this species is identical 

 with the plant so named by Koorders. Prain's S. declinata, I.e. 211, is a 

 mixture. 



(3) S. cauliflora Baker, in Hook. fil. F.B.I, ii. 272. 



Tree. Leaflets 5 pairs, rather stiff, elliptic, blunt 5 in. long, 

 3 in. wide ; nerves about 8 pairs, rather strongly elevate ; petioles 

 •2 in. long. Corymbs on branches 6 in. wide ; peduncles i to 5 in. 

 long or quite short. Bracts lanceolate-acute. Sepals '3 in. long 

 yellow; pedicels and tube "5 in. long. Stamens 4 to 7. Pod 

 " red brown," 12 in. long, 2*5 in. wide, beaked. Seed 175 in. 

 long. Hah. Malacca (Griffith). Perak, Ulu Kenering (Wray). 



Baker's type (in part) the Malacca plant has four stamens, Wray's 

 (apparently identical) seven, but I believe the number of stamens varies in 

 some species. The small corymb and short, blunt, strongly-nerved leaflets 

 distinguish it.

 prominent beneath ; petiolules "25 in. long. Corymbs panicled 

 on terminal peduncles, 8 to 12 in. long, glabrous. Calyx tube and 

 pedicel very short, '4 to -5 in. long. Sepals ovate-oblong, "2 in.

 5 to 6, ovate, '5 in. long, 7 in. wide. Hah. Rare in rocky jungle.
